Im not that trilled. I like ballplayers not just supposed hitters. If he supplemented a team that could run, catch, field, Id be ok with it. What I hear is that he is a DH, not even a 1st baseman. I got a feeling hes no Frank Thomas.

He's an MLB ready slugger who the Sox essentially got at the cheap, worth the gamble. What we got to lose?

Frank Thomas is the best player in White Sox history. Literally everyone else who has ever played for this team, including everyone on the active roster in the 2005 playoffs, is no Frank Thomas.

Jose Abreu just needs to be a competent hitter with good power for this deal to work out.
